how come my puppy dosent like being touched?

I have a 8 month old purebred American PitBull, and it seems she hates being touched. Upon sitting on the couch and laying down for bed she moves away from being patted(moves to opposite end of bed\ couch). I love my dog, but its quite discouraging seeing how she does not like me patting her. Can anyone relate? And how would I go about getting her to like being touched?:mad::confused:

 

some are just that way man...my males are always alot more loveable.

 

Yes females are just what they are.. bitches lol.

 

Take that dog everywhere you go and give her treats out of your hand and in a week she should show signs of improvement.

 

I have a male that's not fond of being loved on or touched affectionately at all most of the time. He only does it when he initiates. Otherwise he'll move away if possible or huff and puff until you leave him alone.

 

My year old female was the same way. I backed up and started petting her from outside of her kennel with a barrier between us and she's coming around better now. Still no where near as affectionate as my male but she lets me pet her in the kennel now.

 

thanks everyone I've been trying to get within her good graces lol. Got alot if work, and quality time in the future

 

Sometimes it depends on the environment that they are currently in. May be too much going on, t.v., music, noise and such. Does she act the same way outside? Either way, with time she may warm up, but she may not. Some are just introverts.
